Still studying means I'm being polite and pretending that I didn't shut down on your post. Ain't I nice, until you - pressed me?

I'll ignore the part where you called me an *** and pass that off as youthful ignorance.



My problem with the K&D is this:
  • The immediate design of this prohibition was not to prevent licentiousness, or to oppose idolatrous practices

  • and
  • but to maintain the sanctity of that distinction of the sexes which was established by the creation of man and woman, and in relation to which Israel was not to sin.
Now, Prax, in all practicality and for the sake of just plain old common sense - WHY does the scripture even address a man even attempting to put on a woman's clothing?

In their time period it was part of the pagan rituals of sacrifice to don the clothes of the opposite sex and have licentious sexual activities.

Now, if that was not even happening, WHY would the Word even speak of a man donning a woman's clothing - just for fun or what?

The distinction of sexes - my goodness - that is just ridiculous for me to comprehend. If the Word is worried about a man wearing a woman's clothing then - hello - something is rotten in Denmark - just logically.

It isn't speaking of gender distinction. It is speaking of existing and living the part of the opposite sex - the abomination.
I didn't call you any names. Second, you referred to all these people as Lutheran boys as though that were some sort of trump card that automatically means they are wrong. That's as absurd a claim as when Atheist evolutionists dismiss any scientists argument for Intelligent Design because the scientist is Christian.
